After a year that brought us increased at-home time, every outing is a gift. Thanks to the design-savvy among us, a day spent in an office with rustic exposed beams is eight hours of nonstop inspired work. A trip to the pediatric center allows your child’s imagination to play, and a bike trail is a sanctuary. We honor the designers and the trusted planners, suppliers, builders and architects who create inspiring surroundings like these through our annual Commercial Design Awards. This year, we asked the Minnesota chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) to judge the entries based on score sheets curated for each specific category. These winning profiles received the highest score, and they showcase the newest commercial spaces created with intentional design choices and thoughtful planning.
